After graduating in Law from the Complutense University of Madrid and a few years working in private enterprise, he began his artistic career creating the musical group Bajas Pasiones during the years of the Movida Madrileña, publishing songs and vinyls and performing live, with the last night of the Rockola club being a highlight. In the 80s he worked in the audiovisual sector producing numerous advertising spots as well as making some music and art videos. From 1989 to the present day, he has focused on the plastic arts, combining his work as an artist as a draughtsman, engraver, painter and sculptor, with his work as an exhibition curator.
